Sommario/riassunto

This edited volume is the first book on Experimental Philosophy, a new methodology that proposes an empirical approach to resolving important philosophical questions. The volume includes 8 previously published articles that form the basis of Experimental Philosophy, as well as 4 newly commisioned essays by prominent scholars on the future of the field. Experimental Philosophy serves as both a resource and an introduction to the subject.
